San Francisco 49ers at Miami Dolphins Preview:
The 6-8 San Francisco 49ers travel to Miami to take on the 6-8 Dolphins. After making the playoffs in the last two seasons, both teams are in danger of missing the playoffs.
The 49ers are coming off a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. A game where they failed to score a touchdown and didn’t make it into double digits. With a loss this Sunday, the 49ers will be eliminated from playoff contention. This will be the first time they have missed the playoffs since 2020.
The Dolphins are also coming off a loss. Despite the great play Tua Tagovailoa has shown over the past few weeks, the Houston Texans defense proved to be too much for him. In the 20-12 loss, Tagovailoa turned the ball over four times: three interceptions and one fumble.
While both teams hope to keep their playoff hopes alive, it’s hard to imagine either team will advance.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets:
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is eyeing Jonnu Smith touchdown +160...
Thomas: “How could you possibly trust either team in this game? The only person I trust in this game is Jonnu Smith. I like him to go over 49.5 yards, but that’s a big total for any tight end not named George Kittle.
However, Smith’s touchdown price is still very playable. He’s the redzone leader in targets and has scored a touchdown in four of his last five games. He also scored twice against the Raiders on November 17th.”
